The theme of this years conference is Intersectionality.
Film & History Conference - 26-30 October 2016, Milwaukee Hilton, Milwaukee, WI
Co-editors Kimberly Jackson and Linda Belau seek proposals for a collection of scholarly essays on horror television series. Given the growing presence and cultural significance of horror television in both the United States and in other nations (particularly Japan), the editors are interested in work that engages with this rising sub-genre. We are leaving this call for essays deliberately quite general so that scholars working on any aspect of the horror television series phenomenon, from any time period or nation, might be able to contribute. We are, however, particularly interested in essays that engage theoretically and critically with horror television.

Queer in the Public Sphere: Homophobia in Public Discourse (Panel)Submit Abstract
In a 2005 article for The New York Times, Canadian-Russian author and American academic Michael Ignatieff raised a provocative question: "Who Are Americans to Think That Democracy Is Theirs to Spread?" Surveying a range of critical responses to the US war in the Middle East, such as the idea that US involvement is economically self-serving, or that it facilitates the rise of increasingly repressive regimes, Ignatieff argues that the US has been ineffective, if not oppositional, in its stated aims of promoting democracy worldwide. This MELUS panel builds on SAMLA 88's theme of "Utopia/Dystopia: Whose Paradise Is It" and perspectives like Ignatieff's to ask how multi-ethnic American writers position the US amidst the political unrest of their birth nation.
"Danza e ricerca. Laboratorio di studi, scritture, visioni" selects original contributions for the 8th issue, scheduled for publication by the end of 2016. D&R is an open access journal edited by Eugenia Casini Ropa and published by the Department of Arts (University of Bologna).
Articles can focus both on contemporary and historical dance. The type of contributions ranges from historiography to theory, to reviews, with an extensive use of research tools deriving from interrelated disciplines such as anthropology, philosophy, sociology and pedagogy. The paper should be written in a language of your choice among Italian, French or English,and the length should be between 25000 and 60000 characters, including spaces.
The Marxist Literary Group welcomes a wide range of paper proposals concerning Marxism, but papers addressing the SAMLA 88 theme (Utopia/Dystopia) are especially welcome. Interested panelists should submit a 250 word abstract and any A/V requirements to Emma C. Baughman, University of Rhode Island, at emmacbaughman@gmail.com by June 9, 2016.
